Lovely owner, that on arrival into the village,we phoned her and she met us to guide us to the accommodation. Beautiful setting and walks along the river. Lots of various seating outside and the hot tub was gorgeous!
Justin
We had a great weekend there. Very peaceful. They even heated up the tub before we got there.
Perfect tranquil get away. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries. Exceeded our expectations with the Hot Tub a highlight. Had a walk to the Brownlow Arms about 30 minutes down the riverbank for some traditional pub grub.
Michelle
Absolutely fantastic stay at The Sweet Caroline Sheherds Hut. peaceful surroundings, fantastic hosts and the perfect setting for my husband and I to escape the hustle and bustle of our working lives. Brilliant hot tub, bed super comfy and a fabulous pub The Brownlow Arms only a 25 min walk along the banks of the River Trent. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. Will definately return and would highly reccommend. Not another person in sight a true serene getaway.
Had a lovely stay here, felt cosy and clean with a relaxing experience, would definitely recommend!
Suzanne
Such a beautiful place to stay, peaceful & relaxing. Sweet Caroline is beautifully laid out & feels spacious and homely. Fantastic hot tub under the stars. Great dog walks straight from your front door & dog friendly pub a nice walk away. No immediate neighbours adds a level of luxury to the experience. We stayed for 4 nights & wished we had booked the week!
We stayed at the Sweet Caroline Shepherds Hut over New Year and absolutely loved our stay. Very cosy shepherds hut whilst also having everything you could need. In a perfect location for lovely dog walks whilst also being not too far from Lincoln. Super accommodating hosts, would definitely return!
Such a lovely place to stay,the owners were brilliant,always on hand if we needed anything,including christmas day. Clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be booking again in the new year
Incredibly accomodating owners. An amazing location in the countryside to kick back, relax and decompress. Great facilities missing the hot tub already and comfortable liitle shepherd's hut......didn't want to leave!
Superb location A great time had by all such a lovely shepherds hut, very comfortable and very clean, lovey and warm hot tub all finished with lovely furnishings and everything you needed for the stay! Great for our little border Rolo who loved the walks. Rebecca is such a lovely host and made us feel more than welcomed, we are already missing the time we had and we be looking foreword to our next stay. Kevin,Adele&Rolo

Rebecca is such a great host, catered and looked after us very well! The hot tub stayed warmhot throughout our stay which was lovely, Rebecca also offered to change the water as well. Due to the remote location there were so many bugs including spiders, apart from that we enjoyed our gateway. The hut had all amenities and was cosy. The nearest town is 1015 mins away so there are plenty of things to do.
I think that the write up and photos just dont do this property justice. It is not clear on your site that there is only the one hut in situ and that the hot tub was just for us to use. A number of huts we looked at before this property on your site made it clear that we would be sharing facilities. Which we did not want So we took a chance anyway that it was just going to be us and WOW it was amazing we had everything we could have wanted to escape. We were at the very end of a long drive through fields and were nested in beautiful opening, surrounded by fields to the sides as well as a large duck pond and in back of us was more fields and in front was the river Trent and more fabulous views of woods and fields. Which blow us away. We were made very welcome by our host who once we were set up left us to it. But was at the end of the phone to help which she did quickly and with a warm manner with the questions and help we needed. Once we were settled in we did not see anyone. It was one of the best experiences we have had and managed to relax and unwind from a busy lifestyle. The walls offered breathtaking views we walked for hours and only came across sleep, who followed us up to the next gate very friendly! cows which enjoyed making us walk round them and as soon as we did they moved off the path lol and one fish man who friendly chat and guidance to a pub. It you are thinking of escaping this is the place to go I cannot put into words just how amazing this place was a true hidden gem that you must added to your bucket list !!!
What a find! A beautiful Shepherds Hut in an even more beautiful location. Lovely host who could not have been more welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We have stayed in several places very similar and Sweet Caroline outshines them all. Couldnt recommend it more, complete peace and tranquillity, 3 nights wasnt long enough. We will definitely be back!
Vanessa
Beautiful secluded location, perfect for enjoying dog walking and wine in the hot tub. Extremely helpful host, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely return!
